Is it possible to use "if" more than once in a sentence?
A person asks if it's possible to ship a package in a shoebox, and someone replies, "It should be fine if the contents won't be hurt if the shoebox is roughed up a bit."
Thank you
Thank you

Hi Guyper In theory, I'd say yes. In practice, there are usually better ways to word the sentence, and yours is a good example. "

Hi Guyper
In theory, I'd say yes. In practice, there are usually better ways to word the sentence, and yours is a good example. This is how I might reword your sentence:
"It should be fine as long as the contents won't be damaged if the shoebox gets roughed up a bit."
